Hey, I don’t want to be that guy, I love your work, but if there’s one thing I’d love to see is you putting sketches or incomplete work in maybe the scraps on FA? I check in on streams and see these great drawings that sometimes never see the light of day and it’s painful Love you, love your work, anything to see more of it would be marvelous~
Yea it’s a really REALLY bad habit of mine… I do apologize dearly for that. I’m going to do my best to not let that happen in the future.
One of my biggest issues as an artist is not having a plan. I would just do things as they come, and I’m honestly not a fan of that.
I’ll do better to take my creative goals and put solid plans to them. I know I can do it, I just need to enforce it.
Oh man, where do I begin? First off, thank you for your dedication to your work. I don’t care how depraved this sounds, but there’s not enough necrophilia art on the internet, and I’m so glad I found you. Your art is so beautiful in its own sick and twisted way. Never let anyone discourage you and keep up the good work! Thank you for fulfilling all of our shameful sexual fantasies! Cheers to your prosperous future!
I love you all so so much, you have no idea. I live to serve you guys.
It really is such an honor to help fulfill this sort of niche. I’ll always do good by all of you lovely hearts. <3
Hey, before tumblr blows its brains out and I can be anonymous, I just wanted to say I’ve loved your work and have followed you for at least 2 years now. Your progress as an artist and person has been really nice to see, and I can’t wait to see where you go from here <3 cheers to better horizons beyond this hellsite
Aye that means an awful lot <3
You’ve all been fantastic to me on this platform. I got to grow to much and watch this community grow along with me. It was truly an awesome experience.
Man I feel like everyone is breaking out the valedictorian speeches now that death is near.
I know this is not the time to ask such things, but after your Tumblr account closes, will you reupload everything? There are many art pieces which you can't find nowhere, but here.
Hmm… I feel like a lot of them should be on my Furaffinity.
If you find something that’s not there, do let me know!
I’ve just seen people blaming Apple exclusively for this issue, and in reality they are a small element to it. All they’ve done was indirectly speed up a process that was already being implemented.
So whether Apple banned the app or not, this was bound to happen.
Good job tumblr. Couldn’t figure out your shitty problem, and now instead of finding a reasonable solution, you’re going to alienate one of your biggest communities. I hope this is your downfall. Your platform is literally dead.
I’m moving all of my activity to twitter and furaffinity. My furaffinity has been pretty active, but my twitter is fairly new.
Please follow the both of these so you can stay updated on all of my stuff. Tumblr as a platform is done though.
This is nothing against you guys! This is just my arm literally being pulled to one direction. This blog will be axed close to the 17th.

Hey my man I've been reading your previous posts, I see you haven't been yourself. Again this could be a side effect of your medication or not but please don't look at your life that way. Even though with the work talk, have you considered on looking at apprenticeships in art or animation? Because I believe that it would be a good step forward. Although I probably know you have look for jobs in that section, but that's the best I got. Hope your day is swell though and remember you are amazin. ;)
I would love to maybe go to school or do something like an apprenticeship in my field, but I don’t even know where to start finding something like this that I could afford or even qualify for.
College is just WAY too expensive and they require GPA’s of 3.0 or higher. I don’t have either of those. I flunked out of college in 2011. I’d have to first go to community college for like, 4 semesters, then I’d have to transfer into a 2 or 4 year program at an art school. By the time I get done with all of that, I’d be 35-36 years old, with pretty much no chance of getting hired anywhere in the industry.
So yea, I have no idea where to even look. I feel like I’m kind of on my own. I wish I hadn’t fucking wasted my 20′s being a fucking moron. I which I hadn’t been an anxious chronic liar when I was in highschool. I wish things were just a little different.
The real thing is even if you don’t amount to much, that shouldn’t be a bad thing, life itself is a gift! Even if you just work a crappy job, there’s still plenty to be happy for and to enjoy
I’d rather not work a crappy job just to hold out for the “good things” in life. I want a job I enjoy. I want to contribute in a way that’s meaningful to the people I want to serve. I want to have purpose above all else.
It's good to still see you passionate, even when your going through this. I know you want to create art for us type of folks still, while there are other artists out there that would start to give up. I know it sucks but the first few days are the worst but your body will soon just get used to it. We can wait for knew art or hay while your sorting this stuff out you can probably show us art you never shown before. But that's your call. Again know that someone like you with your passion is amazin
thanks a bunch. hearing this sort of stuff makes going through this a little easier
I’ve experienced that before too, my friend, while your situation may be different, I can say almost certainly that it’s just in your head. It feels killer, like the medication kills every creative thought you had. But it’s just you over thinking it, just try to stick with it at least another week or so, the beginning is always the worst. No matter what though you’ll figure it out <3
I’ve been kinda bad about updating people here about what’s been going on with me lately, so here’s the scoop.
I went to therapy last week and got diagnosed with bipolar disorder, anxiety, and depression. So I’m now being medicated to treat those.
The medication has been hitting me hard recently. I’ve been very tired and it’s been really hard to execute anything like drawing, so I’ve been taking it easy.
It’s frustrating, but it’s either I take this medicine to fix my fucked up head, or I stay miserable.
So I gotta wait out the side effects.
Anyway, I’ve been posting a lot of my recent work to Furaffinity. If you want to see what I got there, click here.
But yes, I’ve been kinda slow recently. This is thanks to the side effects of my medication. Hopefully it won’t last for too long, but I won’t know till I stop feeling tired all the fucking time.
If that is what you prefer! If you want to commission me and you specify in your commission, “I want this to be drawn in an MLP show style.” then I’ll gladly do that as well. I’m capable of switchin!
They lose a lot of their cartoon appeal, though, not that it's bad but it doesn't really fit most of the show characters (or even OCs) to have more realistic face structure. Not trying to tell you what to do, just adding to the discussion, your style is your call, at the end of the day.
Yea, I’m aware that they lose their cartoonish appeal, but here’s the thing.
Whether you agree with me or not, the MLP style is a formulated style. It was designed to be easy to execute.
The MLP show style has horse characteristics, but if you’re going to rely solely on the MLP show style for all of your pony/horse illustrations, then you are greatly limiting your abilities as an artist.
I don’t dislike the MLP show style! I am however a bit tired of it. I find it to be greatly limiting in how expressive I can execute characters. That, and the MLP show style gets to a point where breaking the rules of that style start to become wonky. It’s not right imo to focus on a formula for so long that it just becomes your go to whenever drawing any kind of horse character. There’s no development there.
One of my weak points as an artist is not knowing how proper anatomy and form is executed. While I definitely execute my drawings like I know wtf I’m doing, I assure you that this isn’t the case most of the time. I don’t have a total grip on what I’m doing.
So I’ve bought online courses and I’m watching lots of videos on how to properly understand anatomy and figure drawing in my fields of interest.
I’m currently in the process of understanding the forms of horse’s and human anatomy from the inside out. Everything from bone structure, to muscle placement and how they work. It is a lot of work.
Being able to learn this stuff from the inside out allows us as artists to understand how the body of all living things behave, and what our limits/abilities are. Once you’ve got an understanding of this, you can move on to simplifying the forms of what you’re drawing so that they become much easier to execute. Things like breaking down things into shapes, using bean techniques, robo beans, lines of action, etc.
After you understand this, THEN you can better understand how to break the rules. When the MLP show style was produced, I’m fairly certain that the artists had an understanding, or at least studied before hand, the anatomy of horses.
So to wrap this all up, while I understand there are people here who would rather see me continue with the MLP style, I’m going to be drawing a lot of my characters (horses and pones included) with the information and approaches I’m learning. This is mostly due too A. Me wanting to implement this information into my brain so that it becomes muscle memory, and B.It’s just fun!
So yea. I understand what I’m doing and what some people might want me to continue doing. If you want me to improve as an artist, however, you need to allow me to go through these artistic phases.
Thanks for the ask! I enjoy talking about this stuff.
